and RSS.
The only thing they seem to miss from the author's description is: "It has to be decentralized. The database would be hosted on many computers and each new entry would be processed using some sort of consensus algorithm."
But there's no motivation for why this is a expected property of the network
- ryanolsonx 7y agoRSS came to my mind too. If everyone self-hosted something that gives an RSS feed, your social network feed could really just be an RSS reader.
- brisky 7y agoRSS is a good example. In the simplest form my proposed social network structure could be seen as RSS feed of all the social web that is stored in a decentralized database. The main feature is that the posts can be 'liked' or 'upvoted' by users (domains).
- sovok_x 7y agoThe sudden idea is to separate metadata and content on different services and merge them only for viewing and interaction. Then users can selfhost content and request its distributed social metadata (upvotes, emotes, other people's comments etc) dynamically without easily losing control over the content itself.
